Day 1: Arrival in Mysuru – Royal Welcome
Arrive in Mysuru and check in to a heritage hotel or resort. After a brief rest, begin exploring the city with a visit to the grand Mysore Palace. Marvel at its Indo-Saracenic architecture, intricate interiors, and vibrant stained-glass domes. Capture pictures at the illuminated palace (if it’s a Sunday or festive evening).
Later, stroll through Devaraja Market to browse local produce, fragrant spices, and sandalwood crafts. Sample iconic Mysuru snacks like Mysore pak and churmuri from street vendors. End the day with dinner at a traditional Karnataka restaurant. Tip: Dress modestly when visiting royal and religious sites.
Day 2: Temples, Art & City Views
Begin your day with a trip to Chamundi Hills. Climb or drive up to the Chamundeshwari Temple and enjoy panoramic views of Mysuru from the top. On your descent, stop to see the giant Nandi statue carved from a single rock.
Next, head to the Jaganmohan Palace Art Gallery, showcasing a fine collection of South Indian art, musical instruments, and paintings from the royal family. After lunch, visit St. Philomena’s Church, one of the tallest churches in Asia. Enjoy your evening with a walk at Brindavan Gardens, known for its musical fountain show. Return to your hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 3: Mysuru to Wayanad via Nanjangud
Check out after breakfast and drive towards Wayanad. En route, stop at Nanjangud’s Srikanteshwara Temple, often called the “Kashi of the South.” Continue your journey through scenic coffee plantations and forested roads.
Arrive in Wayanad by afternoon and check into a forest retreat or eco-resort. After lunch, relax or take a short guided nature walk nearby. In the evening, gather around a campfire (if available) and savor a Kerala-style dinner. Travel tip: Keep a light jacket handy for the cooler highland weather.
Day 4: Ancient Caves & Lake Serenity
Start your day with a visit to Edakkal Caves, famous for prehistoric rock engravings dating back over 6,000 years. It’s a moderately challenging trek but well worth the views and history. On your way down, shop for tribal handicrafts or local pepper and cardamom.
After lunch, visit Pookode Lake nestled amid lush greenery. Enjoy a boat ride or a peaceful lakeside walk. For foodies, Wayanad’s Kerala thali with red rice and coconut-rich curries is a must-try. Return to your stay and unwind. Tip: Wear sturdy shoes for the cave trek.
Day 5: Waterfalls & Tea Gardens
After breakfast, head to Soochipara Falls, a three-tiered waterfall surrounded by dense forest. You can take a dip in the lower pool or enjoy photography near the rocks. From there, drive to a nearby tea estate to witness the tea-making process and sample fresh brews.
In the afternoon, visit the Wayanad Heritage Museum at Ambalavayal to learn about the region’s tribal culture and history. Wrap up the day with a slow evening at your stay or opt for an Ayurvedic massage session. Dinner can include Wayanadan bamboo rice payasam, a local specialty.
